The 50 Greatest Trailers of All TimeWe know them as trailers, but they don't trail anything; they play before the movie, not after it. The name dates to their earliest incarnation, when they actually did follow the feature. The documentary "Coming Attractions" dates the very first trailer to a 1912 Edison serial entitled "What Happened to Mary?" After each installment, a black card with white text would appear to inform audiences "The next incident in the series of 'What Happened to Mary' will be shown a week from now." Not exactl Continue reading
DAVID MEADDAVID MEAD Almost and Always (Cheap Lullaby) It’s a bitch being a musical genius. The last couple of years have not been kind to singer-songwriter David Mead. After spending 2007 living in Brooklyn, Mead separated from his wife and returned to his native Nashville in early 2008, initially landing in a room in his father’s basement for a few months. Mead confesses “The change was a little paralyzing. I had left pretty much everything but my books and a few lamps in Brooklyn, and there I was, ba Continue reading

Channel VDee of On The Curb has posted a playlist of some of her favorite “vagina music,” with her post entitled exceeding my bandwith on the word vagina .¹ (You should go check out Dee’s blog, by the way. In case you haven’t guessed it, she’s freakin’ hilarious.) Dee doesn’t quite give a definition of “vagina music,” but she gives quite a few examples. If I had to summarize, I’d say that the songs are ones that move her down to her…um…core, and tap into her emotions. And perhaps also those that rem Continue reading
Diversity Dilemma: Crist Stuck Choosing Judge From Panel of WhitesWe’re going to round out the week, and send you LBers off to your weekend of fireworks, grilled meats and 30-SPF lotion, with a curious little tale from, appropriately enough, the Sunshine State. The Florida Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Governor Charlie Crist (pictured), violated the state Constitution when he refused to fill an appeals court vacancy because all of the potential picks are white. Click here for the story, from the Miami Herald. The somewhat strange outcome seems to have bee Continue reading

Concert Review: Tift Merritt at Stuyvesant High School Auditorium, NYC 7/2/09You heard it here first: Tift Merritt is the future of American pop music. What she sings isn’t particularly edgy, but it’s not stupid. Last night the North Carolina-bred songwriter made fun of the promoters who’d moved her scheduled show at Rockefeller Park indoors even as the sky was clearing. She was spooked by the prospect of playing in a high school: “Not a good time,” she recalled, practically shuddering. Which made sense. As catchy and warmly accessible as her songs are, there’s a welco Continue reading
CITY COUNCIL IS JUST A BUNCH OF GAY COWBOYS EATING PUDDING, DETROIT IS THE NEW YOUNGSTOWN, AND MY GOD THE MICHIGAN CITIZEN REALLY SUCKS ASSCity Council devolves into bizarre art house film To truly appreciate City Council one must understand City Council through the lens of film school terminology. This is not a neo-realist work. Council is an avant-garde expression of the abstract. Just consider the dialectical symbolism of the lighting as it bounces off Barbara-Rose Collins’ ever larger forehead. What does that tell us about humanity? Also shit, why is Zachary Gorchow such a racist? The only way you’ll find the answer is if you Continue reading
TWO//13:2:13“Once, a long time ago: “I hate tea.” I make a face after a sip of the ghastly murk swimming around in her cup. “I can’t imagine why you drink the stuff.” We’re in a cafe, one of our favourite ones, with big wide windows that allow the sun to spread out across every surface in the place. The varnish on the old wooden furniture, each piece with entire histories written across its grain, doesn’t just glow. It shines. “I love tea.” she says, small fingers around the handle, pulling her drink Continue reading
